Howlett East HVAC Upgrades- Best Interest of the State

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS), is procuring engineering services for the replacement of the existing HVAC system in the 1923 addition of the Howlett Building in Springfield, Illinois. The project, known as the Howlett East HVAC Upgrades, is being pursued in the best interest of the state, as the existing HVAC system has become unreliable and requires frequent repairs. Without these immediate repairs, ILSOS will be unable to heat or cool a quarter of the Howlett Building. The selected firm, Clark Dietz, an engineering firm with prior experience working on State of Illinois construction projects, will be responsible for upgrading the HVAC system to a VAV system with new air handling units, hot water reheat coils, ductwork, and a dedicated outside air system. The contract with Clark Dietz is estimated to cost $300,000 and is for the term upon execution through December 31, 2025.

This contract opportunity is open to all qualified firms, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total budget for this project is $300,000, and the contract will be awarded to the firm that is deemed to be in the best interest of the state.
